Join us for our 10-day Permaculture Design Course on one Saturday a month throughout the year.
A 10-day Permaculture Design Course (PDC) will open your eyes to a range of topics and show you the connections between ecology, landscape design, agriculture and our lifestyles. Not only will you gain experience and knowledge, many of our students make friends for life in our courses.
In this 72-hour course, you will gain an internationally recognised qualification that prepares you well for further study and work in the permaculture field. Job opportunities can be found in landscape design, consulting with clients and councils, teaching, farming, ecological restoration, nursery work.
In our PDC, you will learn about
- the ethics and principles of permaculture and how to use them in decision-making
- how to design gardens and farms that work with nature, rather than against it
- management of water, soil and nutrients on your property
- designing integrated plant and animal systems
- community building and social permaculture
- the interconnectedness of all life on earth
We follow the curriculum set out by the Permaculture Institute with additional topics such as community building, the non-monetary economy, transition initiatives and alternative governance.
This will be PEA's only part-time Permaculture Design Course in 2025!
